Anyone know the difference between these 3 LP releases of Sunshower? They go from $11, to $170, to $80. What's the difference?

I don't know what I expected. The odds of someone knowing the answer are probably 0. With that said, Collecting Citypop on Vinyl is fucking EXPENSIVE.

>>69052696
What's on this album that wasn't already done by jazz musicians in the 70s?

which is stupid imho, considering the ultra-modernist æsthetic (urban clubs, 1980's technological Japan, slick & shiny over-production, soulless musicianship, etc.) of city-pop, you should collect the original releases in Compact Discs only.

City pop is more... sexy. And exotic.

All I care about is audio quality & I've already got a decent LP setup & cleaning machine on hand. I'm debating if I should get one of those original release Playstation 1 systems. From what I understand they have $3000 military spec DACs inside them, so they're the best CD players you can get for the price. Would make for a cool city pop player if I can find one.

>cds from the 80s

Do any of those even work anymore? I hear very early CDs (we're talking as early as 1982 here), weren't made as well as modern CDs, but that might be horseshit. Here', have a citypop list.

Me and my flatmate bought an original Descendents Milo Goes to College CD from 1982 at an Exchange store for like 8 bucks, wrapped and everything. It works perfectly. We didn't even know they made CD's that far back and had to look it up

>>69054634

I was surprised how old the medium is too. I wish they were cheap, I wouldn't mind having two versions of the same album considering how small CDs are.

>>69054634
That was just the copyright. The album wasn't released on cd until a decade later.

underrated

Because i am not subhuman Americuck

>>69052696
Also make sure to check out Melodies, Go Ahead, Spacy and Ride on Time, they are good on their own

>>69054134
The 2010 remaster under the Nippon Crown label features 3 bonus tracks including " 荒涼" which is in my opinion one of the best tracks in the album

>>69054620
For a more basic overview of the genre, not bad at all. Even though I'd personally add some Minako Yoshida to it
